Gap between top and entry-level jobs ‘widens’

The gap between the best-paid jobs and entry-level posts has widened in Ireland in recent years by more than 5%, marking one of the largest increases in Europe, according to a leading business consultancy.
The Korn Ferry survey was based on 25,000 firms and showed that pay for junior jobs has “stagnated” while pay for “higher-skilled positions that require in-depth technological and creative knowledge” had increased here sharply since 2008.
